Narcolepsy and rapid eye movement sleep
Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.Summary Since the first description of narcolepsy at the end of the 19th Century, great progress has been made. The disease is nowadays distinguished as narcolepsy type 1 and type 2. In the 1960s, the discovery of rapid eye movement sleep at sleep onset led to improved understanding of core sleep‐related disease symptoms of the disease (excessive ...

Ageing‐related modification of sleep and breathing in orexin‐knockout narcoleptic mice
Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.Summary Narcolepsy type‐1 (NT1) is a lifelong sleep disease, characterised by impairment of the orexinergic system, with a typical onset during adolescence and young adulthood. Since the wake–sleep cycle physiologically changes with ageing, this study aims to compare sleep patterns between orexin‐knockout (KO) and wild type (WT) control mice at ...

The Impacts of Age and Sex in a Mouse Model of Childhood Narcolepsy
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder caused by selective death of the orexin neurons that often begins in childhood. Orexin neuron loss disinhibits REM sleep during the active period and produces cataplexy, episodes of paralysis during wakefulness.

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Narcolepsy type 1 is a chronic sleep disorder of putative autoimmune aetiology, primarily caused by the loss of orexin‐producing neurons in the hypothalamus. An additional 88% reduction in corticotropin‐releasing hormone‐immunoreactive neurons of the paraventricular nucleus has been recently observed in post‐mortem brains of individuals with ...
